At the same time STAR was experiencing SWITCH SWAP SPILL.
Immediately after STAR got her position switched.
AMÉ now sat in 1st place with SAGE following right next to him, both at the top speed NO MAN'S LAND had left in their rides.
As if he knew something was about to happen.
AMÉ quickly holds the breaks of •PIXYCLE•, causing him to forcefully stop.
With his sudden stop, SAGE'S •BLUE SENDER• got flung into first place and...
"SPILL".
In that instant •BLUE SENDER• sped up so fast, breaking every speed record ever set in DEATH RACE.
NO MAN'S LAND had SPILLED the speed of every ride it had collected and dumped it all into •BLUE SENDER• at the same time.
•BLUE SENDER• moved so fast it covered a 200 MILLION FRIS distance in the span of 1 second.
"What da..."
"SWITCH".
"Now whatttttttttttttt". Sage says as his car began drawing a 200 FRIS diameter circle.
His direction had been SWITCHED from a straight line into a perfect circle, just when he was now extremely close to the end mark.
It was as if NO MAN'S LAND, didn't want him to leave just like that.
Especially after giving him the speed of ervery racer within it.
~{OH DAMN.
NO WAY.
DID YOU EXPECT THIS, AMÉ?}~
"Why did you stop next to me. Keep driving if you don't want to lose and remain stuck in my REALM, racing for the next 10 Billion PIONS".. AMÉ replies sitting on his bike at the same spot he stopped watching •BLUE SENDER• form a tornado right in from of the end mark of NO MAN'S LAND.
A tornado so high that both him and every other racer that were literally Billions of FRIS away from the end mark could see it.
~{YOU WANT ME TO KEEP RACING.
WELL, I'M NOT HEADING INTO THAT.
ALSO IF YOU STARTING MOVING.
I'LL GLADLY FOLLOW RIGHT AFTER}~
"Sigh... Just do what you want".
"WHAT IS THIS? A MASSIVE TORNADO RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE. END MARK OF NO MAN'S LAND.
IS THE LAND SAYING IT WON'T LET ANYONE LEAVE?"
"IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS. JUST LOOK AT HOW FAR BACK IT TOSSED STAR. AND IN THE CENTER WHAT IS GOING ON?
THIS IS MORE THAN WE EXPECTED. WAY MORE". The assistant commentator added.
With AMÉ and THE GOD OF... both in one spot and not wanting to move because they can't predict what was going to happen next and even if nothing were to happen, there was no getting close to something that big.
...
Meanwhile at the center of the race, at the same time SAGE'S •BLUE SENDER• got the speed of every other racer's rides SPILLED into his.
DAP01 and ASTRID who were now in 4th and 5th positions respectively, began slowing down unexpectedly.
With both of them loosing complete control of •DARK AVENGER• and •STALLION•.
DAP01 who was thousands of FRIS ahead of ASTRID now saw ASTRID directly next to his ride.
In anger he continuously presses and flips every speed switch and button in his ride, but to no avail.
The moment the front of the horses of •STALLION• became perfectly aligned with the front of •DARK AVENGER•...
"SWITCH... SWITCH".
Both of their directions got SWITCHED from forward motion and they began riding in reverse.
Both moving at the entry speed of •STALLION•.
The COLLOSALS who were yet to be affected by NO MAN'S LAND separated their rides.
Creating a space between them, allowing ASTRID and DAP01 who were moving in reverse to go through them.
Taking both of them to the 4th and 5th positions of the race.
Instead of overtaking DAP01 and ASTRID to get their positions, they simply got the positions by being reverse over taken by both racers.
They couldn't believe what was going on and happen to everyone but not them.
But unknown to them NO MAN'S LAND considered them as uninteresting.
They had both stepped into NO MAN'S LAND with ordinary speeds and just some big trucks, not a form that could spike it's interest.
And weren't the first nor second or third to step on it. They were what it considered ordinary. Just like it always had.
But every other racer were so unique and were ONE of a kind. Nothing like them had stepped into NO MAN'S LAND before.
"THIS IS REALLY SOMETHING".The assistant commentator says.
"WHAT IS?"
"WELL, OF ALL THE RACERS. ONLY 4 ARE YET TO BE AFFECTED BY SWITCH SWAP SPILL".
"YES. YOU'RE RIGHT. BUT WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THAT?" The head commentator asks looking at his partner in confusion as he looked back at the monitors showing each of the racers currently being affected by SWITCH SWAP SPILL.
"THE THING IS, FOR AMÉ AND THE RIDER OF •BURNING RAINBOW•. THEY AREN'T MOVING, SO IT'S NOT GIVING THEM ANY ATTENTION. BUT WHY ISN'T IT PICKING UP THE COLLOSALS?" He asks squinting at the monitor showing the COLLOSALS. "SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY NOT RIGHT".
"I THINK THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. THEY JUST AREN'T MOVING FAST ENOUGH FOR IT TO DO ANY THING TO THEM. I ALSO THINK IT'S 'CAUSE THEY ARE TWO OF THE SAME THING.
MAYBE IF THE MERGE AS ONE, THEY WOULD BECOME UNIQUE AND NO MAN'S LAND WILL DEFINITELY SWAP THEIR RED AND BLACK DUST FORM WITH ANOTHER RACER.
RIGHT NOW SWAPPING ONE OF THEM WON'T REALLY WORK, SINCE THEY ARE LITERALLY REPLICAS OF THE SAME THING AND ONE WILL BE LEFT, HENCE A SWAP OR SWITCH OR EVEN A SPILL WILL BE POINTLESS.
AFTER ALL, THEY COULD JUST MERGE TO GET BACK TOGETHER... ALTHOUGH THE TRACK SHOULD'NT KNOW...". He pauses and holds his chin.
"ACTUALLY, IT WILL KNOW, AFTER ALL, THE GROUND REFLECTS THE. TRUE NATURE OF ANYTHING, THAT'S HOW IT TAKES EVERYTHING FROM WHATEVER STEPS INTO. SO WHAT EXACTLY IS WRONG? 'CAUSE IT REALLY IS WEIRD THAT IT ISN'T DOING ANYTHING TO EITHER OF THEM EVEN AFTER KNOWING THAT". He adds looking at his assistant, who was now standing directly in front of the monitor displaying thee COLLOSALS.
"PING".
"OH THE FAN MESSAGES ARE FINALLY COMING IN". The head commentator says as a green holographic screen pops up from above their desk with black writings.
"THIS ONE'S FROM USER #23891. IT SAYS... WHY DOES THE BLACK BOX NOT GET AFFECTED BY SWITCH SWAP SPILL?... UHN?"
"THAT'S IT!" Exclaimed the assistant commentator..
"WHAT'S IT?"
"THAT THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION. WE'RE FLYING, THAT'S WHY WE AREN'T AFFECTED. WE NEVER STEPPED ON NO MAN'S LAND. THANK YOU USER #23891".
"WOW WOW. HOLD UP... ARE YOU SAYING..."
With both commentators looking at each other with their eyes wide open.
"NO WAY... THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE"... "THAT'S VERY POSSIBLE". They both said simultaneously.
